    Greetings again, one more question to pose.


    1 button triggers my playback circuits on 3 of my ISD voice recoder circuits.

    1 button triggers my playback circuits on 3 OTHER of my ISD voice circuits.


    All 6 voice circuits play into a set of speakers. ( hence the 2 question post earlier)


    Think English and French, one button plays 3 single play voice playback circuits for up to 2 min max in English, the second button plays for up to 2 min in French.

    A momentary trigger starts each of the ISD's so ganging 3 into 1 trigger button is what I am currently running.

    Pushing both buttons results in "Frenglish garble"

    How would I prevent one button from triggering the second set of 3 circuits while the first 3 are in play.


    Cheers
    Steve

    unfortunatey no, each ISD circuit is independant of the others, the only common points are the common trigger/start button and the shared speakers.

    *edit

    Let me check the manufacturer's file on these chips. The circuit I am currently using make no use of most of the chip features.

    *edit2

    nothing for output other than for speakers.

    I think I have solved this problem by using a spring loaded 2 position rocker switch,

    Rock to the left and you trigger the Reset on the French modules, and Play on the English.

    Rock to the right and you trigger the Reset on the English modules, and Play on the French.

    The reset stops the current language modules that are running, if no modules are running, it has no effect.

    Spring loaded returns the rocker to the center (neutral)


    I'll see if I can find this type of switch somewhere.

    Cheers
